Example of a weird output: WEATHER _V4.10_ 06-Jul-01 WEATHER> /METAR METAR> cyul CYUL 261100Z 01011KT 15SM FEW120 FEW250 14/05 A3008 RMK AC1CI2 SLP185 = METAR> cyhu CYUL 261100Z 01011KT 15SM FEW120 FEW250 14/05 A3008 RMK AC1CI2 SLP185 = METAR> cyhu 2 CYHU 260900Z AUTO 04004KT 9SM CLR 12/07 A3004 RMK SLP174 = CYHU 261000Z 01006KT 15SM FEW100 BKN220 10/07 A3005 RMK AC1CI2 SLP177 = CYHU 261100Z 05003KT 15SM FEW100 SCT220 13/09 A3007 RMK AC1CI2 SLP184 = METAR> cyhu CYHU 261100Z 05003KT 15SM FEW100 SCT220 13/09 A3007 RMK AC1CI2 SLP184 = All of these commands were executed one after another without a delay. Notice the second invocation where I ask for cyhu and I get cyul. If I ask cyhu 2 I get it correctly then if I ask again for cyhu it works then... Christian Page UQAM
